Powering the Future: From Green Dreams to Tech-driven Reality
summary
Argues the energy transition is already winning with concrete numbers: 1.8 million barrels of oil off streets today rising to 2.5m by 2030 and potentially 20m by 2040, solar now costs one-fifth what it did a decade ago, and battery prices fall 90% over 15 years. Shows deployed products: Octopus Go smart EV charging, local “fan club” tariffs that cut bills by 20–50%, and 220 GW of battery registrations in Germany this year plus AI-driven grid orchestration and zero‑bill homes.
